FYI Audible contact got back to me, and I sent the following.... awaiting response: Thanks for getting back to me! Hope all is well in NYC (are you still there?).

Re: Commercial Use of Librivox Recordings

I have not heard back yet from my old contacts, but if Maryann’s research is correct then we might have a solution for the audible problems (you cannot upload someone else’s pd content) and Mike has a mechanism to keep his PD stuff off audible.

Re: Commercial Use of Librivox Recordings

Running through this thread, and I'll respond in bits and bobs I think, first response: *But then, I also think it would be nice to offer soloists the option to use a CC-NC licence. Legamus does it, and Gutenberg Press also has a variety of licences now. When LV started there were no other options, ...
